About this listen

Hailed as a woman of the year in 2025 by Time Magazine, Raquel Willis has been a natural storyteller since she was a child. In 2023, she published her riveting memoir, “The Risk It Takes to Bloom” in which she describes her story as a “proud Southern Black, trans, queer woman.” She is also the co-founder of Gender Liberation Movement and as you’ll hear, a true Gemini. Raquel and Isa Nakazawa discuss how that curiosity of her Gemini, the loving devotion of her Virgo and the justice of her Libra creates intersectionality in her organizing. In their conversation, Raquel shares what radical defiance looks like in the pursuit of liberation.
